Statue of Liberty
@theitinerarygal
If it’s your first time in New York, the Statue of Liberty is a must see. You can visit just the Statue of Liberty or you can visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island together as a round trip excursion from Manhattan.

Empire State Building
@theitinerarygal
Start the day with a trip up the Empire State Building. Completed in 1931, this was the tallest building in the world for 40 years until the North Tower of the World Trade Center was completed in 1970. The Empire State Building has been featured in over 250 TV shows and movies and is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Brooklyn Bridge
@theitinerarygal
Since Brooklyn is so large, it’s impossible to visit all of it in just one day. With just one day you can visit the neighborhood of Williamsburg and the areas along the East River. Think of today as a mini food tour combined with some of the best views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Chelsea Market
@theitinerarygal
From the Empire State Building, visit Chelsea Market for lunch. The Chelsea Market is food paradise!! This is one of our favorite places in Manhattan for lunch. Inside of the market are numerous small restaurants selling food from around the world.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Itinerary Gal
Hi I'm Emma from the UK and I have been fortunate enough to have been traveling since my 20s in the UK and abroad. I started Thr Itinerary Gal because I wanted to turn my passion of travelling into a business so I became an Independent travel advisor. I also have a love for fitness and the outdoors. I have spent so much time planning my adventures that I wanted to take the stress and hassle out of planning the perfect escape for others. I offer 1:1 calls and custom itineraries for all tastes and budgets. I also accept requests for package holidays/cheap flight deals/ UK staycations/ Spa and theatre breaks/ cruises and Disneyland packages and I will source the best deals and tell you where to book them. Don't worry if you have a fur baby, I often take my ginger Pomeranian Todd on my adventure's too so I can recommend some great dog friendly places. I regularly check all the best package deals from the UK so reach out if you want some recommendations on where is cheap and trending right now, as we all love a great deal right? I hope my guides will inspire you to get out more and explore the world 🌎no matter what your budget or location. I have created guides on my personal experiences and on places that I know you will enjoy exploring. Hopefully as much as I have. I only recommend places to stay based on personal experience. Looking for some inspiration? Feel free to check out my socials or browse my travel shop💗
